Burst Mode
Burst mode is very similar to Triggered mode with the exception
that only one trigger signal is needed to generate a counted
number of output waveforms. In Burst mode, the output remains
at a certain DC level as long as the TRIG IN signal from the front
panel remains inactive. A TTL signal is used to stimulate the
TRIG input. The generator is sensitive to either the rising edge or
the falling edge. Each time a transition at the trigger input occurs,
the Model 3152A generates a number of output cycles that have
been programmed in the burst count parameter. At the end of the
burst, the output resumes position at a DC level equal to the last
point of the waveform. The burst count is programmable from 1 to
106. The default burst value is 1.
The Burst mode operates on standard waveforms and arbitrary
waveforms. Note that the Model 3152A cannot operate in
Sequence and Burst modes simultanously. Observe the
limitations of the trigger signal as listed in the specification section
of this manual. To place the Model 3152A in Burst mode, use the
following commands:
INITitiate:CONTinuous
OFF
TRIGger: BURSt ON
TRIGger: COUNt <counts>
INIT:CONT OFF places the Model 3152A in a non-continuous
mode. TRIG:BURS ON turns the burst function on. The
TRIG:COUN specifies the number of waveforms output after a
qualified trigger signal. To ensure proper operation, enable Burst
mode after setting up the burst parameters. When Burst mode is
enabled, previously programmed Trigger or Gate modes turn off
automatically.
The query:
TRIGger:BURSt?
queries the state off Burst mode and returns "0" (OFF) or "1"
(ON).
The query:
TRIGger:COUNt?
queries the burst count and returns an integer.
